Answer:

C.ratio of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that constitutes two or more elements in a defined proportion. A chemical compound is different from another compound in what it contains i.e. elements. A chemical formula shows the elements contained in a specific compound. For example, the chemical formula of sodium chloride (NaCl) shows us that it contains Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) elements as represented by symbols.

In addition to this, a chemical formula also shows the ratio of each element that makes up the compound. An element can have more than one atom in a compound. For example, CaCl2 is the chemical formula for Calcium chloride and it shows is that the ratio of Calcium (Ca) to Chlorine (Cl) is 1:2.

Calculate how many grams of o2(g) can be produced from heating 87.4 grams of kclo3(s).
Rufina [12.5K]
<span>34.2 grams Lookup the atomic weights of the involved elements Atomic weight potassium = 39.0983 Atomic weight Chlorine = 35.453 Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass KClO3 = 39.0983 + 35.453 + 3 * 15.999 = 122.5483 g/mol Moles KClO3 = 87.4 g / 122.5483 g/mol = 0.713188188 mol The balanced equation for heating KClO3 is 2 KClO3 = 2 KCl + 3 O2 So 2 moles of KClO3 will break down into 3 moles of oxygen molecules. 0.713188188 mol / 2 * 3 = 1.069782282 mols So we're going to get 1.069782282 moles of oxygen molecules. Since each molecule has 2 atoms, the mass will be 1.069782282 * 2 * 15.999 = 34.23089345 grams Rounding the results to 3 significant figures gives 34.2 grams</span>

The ph of a solution containing 0.818 M acetic acid<br> (ka1.76*10-5) ans 0.172 M sodium acetate is?
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

It is known that the relation between pH and pK_{a} is as follows.

              pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

and,     pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

Hence, first we will calculate the value of pK_{a} as follows.

                   pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

                               = -log (1.76 \times 10^{-5}

                               = 4.75

Now, we will calculate the value of pH as follows.

              pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[\text{sodium acetate}]}{\text{acetic acid}}

                    = 4.75 + log \frac{0.172}{0.818}      

                    = 4.75 + (-0.677)

                    = 4.07

Therefore, we can conclude that the pH of given solution is 4.07.
